All eyes will be on Mr Brightside in the Might and Power Stakes, as the superstar gelding faces a small but competitive field.
Nominations include Adelaide River and Kalapour, both expected to give strong accounts of themselves.
Former Melbourne Cup winner Vow and Declare could also feature, adding further quality to the lineup.
However, the potential inclusion of Pride of Jenni—who may skip the Toorak for this race—creates additional intrigue.
If she runs, it will set up a highly anticipated clash.
The 2000m Group 1 contest looks set to serve as a perfect lead-up to the Cox Plate for several of these horses, with Mr Brightside the one to beat with betting sites opening him at $1.70.
